our med is playing our match tonight like this with 150 ping and we have to use discord because mumble doesn't work on the laptop

check out the mousepad

For anyone interested, the apex legends ALGS LAN is also happening alongside i71 in the same venue
i71 tickets give a discount to watch the apex games. And the decision to sync events seems deliberate so we'll probably be in the halls next to each other

I'll be going between the 2 to meet up with some apex legends people I know
They're a very similar crowd compared to our scene

tiger < bear (honestly close. male grizzlies and male tigers are about the same in terms of mass)
hippo > moose (not even close)
chimp < troops (but not all 3 are living)
pitbull > cub (not even close)
gorilla < polar bear (not even close)

who wins hippo vs polar bear?

Big update for the VSH community i guess. They're an official gamemode now

Also I find out cp_gravelpit_snowy exists AND already is an official map. Learn something new every day

Thanks for hosting. Know your hard work and passion was noticed
You can definitely expect me at future events :)

cu@ most likely

Been looking into this myself for a bit

a_horse's viewmodel editor moves the entire animation
and even has a flag to remove left arms, which I currently use
However, the guns' bones are attached to the right arm's bones. Which makes you unable to remove part of the right arm without the animation breaking

There's an invisible arms mod but it works by replacing the actual texture so it doesn't work online

To make a functioning animation mod, you will need to detach the bones and then reanimate just the weapon. idk if this works. you can animate it for sure. But idk how source handles a file like that once loaded in-game. It might try to stretch the hand to still attach to the weapon?

Or move the arms to an angle so they hide behind the gun. This would definitely work, but you'd have to do this for every animation to make sure arms/fingers don't stick out. You'd not want to do this for every class. It'd take weeks or months

I've not messed around with blender enough to try either of these options, but if people want to try it before I try to figure it out in like a year: I think this guide might help

Listened to one or two songs of Rome in Silver in the past. Put a couple songs on my playlist a couple days ago. This one stands out rn

Friend recommended some Marina songs a couple weeks ago. I like this one

FFXIV has way too many cool songs. Currently this one is my jam. Though my favourite is Twice Stricken

Musquitoes don't care. they hunt live prey whereas the plants use a nectar-like substance to lure foraging insects.
they will get stuck in sundews, but it'd be a coincidence. A flyswatter is most effective. And then you can throw the dead musquito into the sundew

The pitcher plants absolutely destroy flies and wasps. About 3 or 4 years ago I had around 70-80 pitchers at once and all were full of flies and wasps by the end of summer. Pitchers can catch pollinators like bees, though the bees don't often visit the traps because their instincts makes them prefer flowers. It also catches random beetles, mimic flies, etc. Anything that likes the nectar

Venus fly traps catch way less than you want them to but they're neat. Daddy long-legs get caught the most by far. Sometimes I'll throw in a live house fly myself if I catch one. they need to detect movement before closing, and the prey still needs to be alive after that for the plants digestive enzymes to be released

Sundews and Butterwort catch tiny bugs. gnats and such. You won't stop a gnat infestation in your houseplants' soil w sundews alone

tl;dr Pitcher plants will catch a bunch of flies and wasps, everything else is mostly there to look cool

I cultivate carnivorous plants. Been doing it since I got gifted a couple for my 18th bday. I'm 27 now
Now that I think about it, it was a month before i started playing TF2
venus fly traps, pitcher plants, sundews, butterworts
2 species of each

Keep them alive and they will reproduce asexually
First pitcher plant I got has become over 100 individual plants over the years
Gave a lot of them away to friends
